These judges are ruining All-Stars, they’re not making much of an impression to be on the regular version. If they are in Lifetime’s eyes (still weird I watch a Lifetime show), then I’m not watching the regular one anymore. The sad thing about Coles is she’s committing the cardinal sin of reality. She’s not being herself so she’s losing credibility. If she was an utter bitch, she’d actually gain fans and enemies, which means she’s being interesting. Now she’s just a bore.

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 04:07:09 +0000http://razzball.com/?p=22390#comment-1176809@Grey, I still say they have no footage of the event, so they just slapped a black bar over the only footage they have of the two of them near each other. My wife reminded me that Johanna should have been Wes’ ex, not Mandi, but I’m sure she was contacted and declined. She already cut that choad out of her life and took his house (ha!), so she doesn’t need to even be on the same show as him.

Runway sucks… these judges are ruining my show. They have no cohesive and certain opinions. I can’t tell which designs they like/dislike or, more importantly, why! I swear, one of the past two weeks (no spoiler) Mizrahi says something to the effect of, “As soon as I saw your piece I hated it, but it’s obviously fantastic.”

Coles is such a nothing. She is totally rushed and is obviously afraid to give any strong advice that might not be echoed by the judges. As EiC of a major mag, she has credibility to lose. Gunn has never had a problem telling a voted off contestant, “I don’t see what the judges are talking about. I thought you did a great job.”

The worst part is how contrived the cast list is. Again, no spoilers… it has been painfully obvious that there is a group who is there to be voted off, a group that is there to contend, and a few people who are there to surprise or disappoint. It’s playing out according to script, and that feels totally non-Runway more than anything else.

In levels of pathetic, that has to be near the top. Maybe right below hooking up with Mike (Paula). I rewatched the club footage countless times and one second there’s nothing wrong then she has a black bar over her top and Mongo doesn’t move near her throughout the whole thing. I was thinking maybe he was so drunk he assumed he did it, but didn’t. But you’re right, why not fight it if you didn’t do anything. BTW, still one episode back on Runway but not liking it at all. I think they thought the contestants would be the stars but the new judges/Coles subtract so much that I can’t get into it.

He obviously DID do it, since he left without an argument, but they (shocker) didn’t have any footage, so they just showed the only footage they had of the two of them near each other.

I think the producers should have told Sarah the truth, “We would have brought in another partner, but we just watched the footage where you’re talking about getting all the troublemakers out of the house. You think our ratings come from good vibes and bad farts? GTFO!” Seriously, when Leroy (yes, I love him too) lost his partner last Challenge, which was about playing with your arch enemy, they brought in his BEST FRIEND as a replacement, so obviously the replacement doesn’t need to make sense. There was just no need to keep around the good-two-shoes without her fat, drunk, mongo mistake.

Didn’t you kind of feel bad for Naomi at the end? I was just shaking my head and talking to my TV, “Sweetie… let it go. You have no idea how desperate and sad you look right now. You’re trying to talk a man into hooking up with you, and he’s telling you repeatedly that he doesn’t want to.”

Few thoughts: 1) I love Leroy. 2) I watched the club footage that they showed like it was the Zapruder film and I didn’t see Vinny pull off Mandi’s top. 3) They should’ve said, “Sara you could’ve stayed if you had hooked up with someone else on all the seasons you were on, but you hadn’t. So there’s no ex, you have to go.”

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 16:39:27 +0000http://razzball.com/?p=22390#comment-1175927@Grey general draft question. what kind of paperwork do you use at a draft? i.e. ADP report, just your rankings, or do you split up players by position/tier?

for example, you like MadBum more than most, but if you have him ranked as the 10th best pitcher, you obviously don’t want to reach for him during the draft, and you know you can wait a round or two before other people might draft him.

am i making sense here? i want to walk into a draft with my rankings, but also have a firm idea of where other people will be drafting too…

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:18:22 +0000http://razzball.com/?p=22390#comment-1175653I did. My first mock yesterday. It was on cbs. They have the most unique rankings I have seen this year. My team looked stacked on offense, but I had lester, annibal, and gio as my top 3 sp. Now that ain’t so bad.

Seriously, who left mike stanton 50 spits below adp at cbs?

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 05:38:10 +0000http://razzball.com/?p=22390#comment-1175010@Grey, what do you think about Juan Nicasio? He’s supposedly healing well from his freak neck injury, had great numbers across the board last year (xFIP < ERA), and had great K/BB numbers in the minors. Despite Coors and the injury, it looks like he could be a great sleeper late in drafts, especially if people have the fallback option of DLing him for the fist couple weeks.

I like Anibal as well.

My SUPPPER SP of the year is…

Dustin McGowan.

if he wins that 5th spot, i think he’ll be a GREAT pickup/ $1 pitcher. Dude can strike people out. Hopefully he’s healthy

In a 10 team standard 5×5, what’s the earliest round you pull the trigger on Anibal? Do you wait until Hellickson, Cueto, Carpenter and Hudson start to go?

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:08:41 +0000http://razzball.com/?p=22390#comment-1174592@Grey, It is, and not really – I’m more of a Packers guy, though I do have a soft spot for the Colts of Baltimore.

I got to know (and admire) Johnny U – figuratively of course – after reading ‘The Best Game Ever’ by Mark Bowden, which I cannot recommend highly enough. On the subject of the Baltimore Colts, you should also watch the ESPN 30 for 30 film ‘The Band That Wouldn’t Die’. Great stuff.
